The Bai family also advocates frugality. Although the dinner for three people consists of eight dishes, the portion of each dish has been halved. The purpose is to allow Xiao Jiahua to taste more kinds of food.
Moreover, Shen Mingquan was very attentive. Not only did he ask the kitchen to prepare authentic Shanghainese cuisine, he also learned to cook northern dishes in advance, for fear that Xiao Jiahua would not be accustomed to the taste of Jiangnan.
With only a few Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, they prepared them in two flavors: steamed and braised.
As a person, Xiao Jiahua has a thorough understanding of both northern and southern cultures. He not only knows how to eat, but also eats elegantly and eats... fully.
The latter point was mainly due to Bai Keyan's tireless efforts in serving them food.
The meal was a joyous occasion and enjoyed by all, young and old.
The only interruption was that the phone in the living room kept ringing.
The living room and the dining room were very close to each other. Shen Mingquan did not treat Xiao Jiahua as an outsider, and secondly, she thought that she could not understand Shanghainese, so when she went out to answer the phone, she did not hesitate.
But she didn't know that Xiao Jiahua not only understood Shanghainese, but could also speak quite a few sentences.
However, in order to keep a low profile, she could only pretend to be a naive baby.
Shen Mingquan's tone when he called was very familiar. Xiao Jiahua initially thought that the other party was some fellow poker buddy of his second aunt, but when he was halfway through eating the melon, he felt something was wrong.
Most of their topics were about Xiao Jiahua herself.
The more Xiao Jiahua listened, the more confused he became.
Bai Keyan put down his chopsticks and whispered in her ear, "The people who called should be my cousins. They knew I was on vacation and came back with my lover. They all wanted to come and see you."
“……???”
If the melon falls on your head, can you still do it?
.
After dinner, considering that Xiao Jiahua was tired from the long journey, Shen Mingquan did not talk to her anymore, but asked her to go back to her room and rest early.
Xiao Jiahua was overjoyed. He bowed and ran upstairs quickly.
Bai Keyan followed and walked into her room.
He explained to his wife in detail where the pajamas, bath towels and toothpaste were.
He also reminded her again and again, "Xiaoxiao, the temperature of the water heater must be set in advance, and be careful during use, otherwise it is easy to get carbon monoxide poisoning..."
"Oh, oh, oh, I know, I can take care of it myself. Brother Yudi, go back and have some rest!"
Xiao Jiahua urged impatiently.
Ignoring the passion in someone's eyes, she kicked him out of the room without hesitation.
She wants to enjoy her own bath time.
Although the pajamas in the dressing room were brand new, they were two-piece sets with chin-high collars and very conservative styles.
So, after taking a shower and drying her hair, Xiao Jiahua chose to wear the pure cotton nightgown she brought with her, since she would only stay here for two nights.
Of course, the room is full of surprises.
There were not only flowers and quotations on the table, but also several boxes of old-brand skin care products.
Xiao Jiahua opened the lotion and vanishing cream, and the scent of jasmine and orchid filled the room alternately.
Ever since Xiao Jiahua came back from the frontier and was criticized by Xiao Dabao and Xiao Shitou as "Black Bao Gong", he has always paid great attention to sun protection and skin care.
She covered herself up indoors every day and wore a hat when she went out, and finally her skin became white again.
Skin cleansing at night is also very important. She began to wonder whether she should try applying some facial cream.
While she was struggling with her conscience, someone knocked on the door of her room.
Xiao Jiahua smiled a little.
It was so late, and the only one who had the intention to "disturb" her was Bai Keyan.
When I opened the door, Bai Keyan was indeed standing outside.
He held the thermos and the glass and looked at her hesitantly.
The man had obviously just washed up. He had taken off his military jacket and was wearing only a snow-white shirt with his sleeves slightly rolled up, looking both sexy and ascetic.
Xiao Jiahua invited him in, pretending to be very tired: "Keyan, what else do you want to talk to me about?"
Bai Keyan had seen her wearing nightgown before. But this time, the girl in front of him, with the fragrance of bath all over her body, made him distracted.
He held the cup, and the blue veins on his hands slightly revealed his nervousness.
His eyes were glued to her in every scene, and his words were somewhat incoherent.
